Summary

This trial is studying the combination of bezuclastinib and sunitinib in patients with GIST who have not responded well to sunitinib treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) who have already tried sunitinib but their disease has progressed. Specific eligibility details are not provided, so interested individuals should inquire further to determine if they meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
What is being tested?
The study is testing a combination of two drugs: Bezuclastinib and Sunitinib, in people with GIST. It's an open-label, single-arm phase II trial, meaning all participants will receive the same treatment without a comparison group or placebo.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects for this drug combination aren't specified here. However, common side effects from cancer treatments like these can include fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, skin issues and increased risk of infections.
